Hey everyone, I just bought a viper 4806v remote starter for my 4Runner and am going to install it this weekend. My main question is what wires do I HAVE to hook up for
Remote start

Rear window

I am confident in installing the remote start as I have a broad electrical background, but I don't want to waste time hooking up unnecessary wires. Thanks for the help!

Starter green/black +
Ignition black/red +
Second Ignition blue/yellow +
Accessory white/green +
Power Lock blue/white - driver kick, white 18 pin plug, pin 4
Power Unlock blue/orange - driver kick, white 18 pin plug, pin 5
Parking Lights+ green + dash fuse box, white 16 pin plug (F), pin 13
Parking Lights- green - Body ECU on RR of dash fuse box, top white 26 pin plug, pin 8

Sweet! This is exactly what I needed. Thank you

Hey Foxtrot!

Did you have to use a module to bypass the transponder when you installed your 4806v in your '06 4R? Were you able to get your rear window to work on the Aux button? How do you like the 4806v?

I'd like to hear which module you used as well foxtrot and if and how you hooked up your rear window.

I'm going to be installing a 4806v in my '07 in the next little while.

For 1true34runner or anyone else reading this I confirmed and figured out all of the details about how to install this in an '07 but should apply to any '06 to '09 and for the most part '03 to '05. Check out this thread at the12volt.com for the specifics.

I ended up taking it to a friends shop because I ran out of time, I'll look tomorrow at the module. Honestly, for all my future vehicles I'll be installing compusstar. I put a compustar in my wife's Corolla and it works great, and has lots of options. The viper will only work within about 2000 feet, and only if there isn't anything in the way. Viper said they don't guarntee distances... Pretty dissapointing

I'm fine with the Viper's range so far, I can start my truck from inside the building at work while the truck is 1/2 mile away. I never expected a full mile since I used to work in marketing and realize that bogus claims are the norm.

I paid a lot of money and the installer didn't even customize the programming. The only thing he told me was that he might not be able to make the back window work. He didn't inform me about programming options or features available.

I wish I had read everything about Compustar before I settled on Viper.

I tried installing my Viper, ended up not sure enough about a couple things, and bartered for a guy to finish it. He said I'd need to add a module to run the rear window with my remote, meh.
My Viper works from inside a steel building at least 1000 feet, and from a bus at O'Hare well over 2000 feet away. Most guys with factory remote starters have to go to a window in sight of their car as close as possible to get theirs to work, I'd say my Viper is amazingly good on range.

I guess I'm comparing the range to my wife's compustar, they are both 1 mile range, but yet I can start her car way further than I can start mine. Also, the two way only works half the time, usually I'll just get a buzzing sound meaning the signal didn't reach my 4Runner. Yet when I walk out, it's running. They told me that there is no way to get the rear window to roll down... Not sure I believe that

I have an Avital remote start/alarm (same thing as Viper) on my 4th gen and a Compustar remote start/alarm on my 5th gen. The Compustar blows away the Avital on range and I don't even have the long range remotes. I also have the Drone Mobile with the Compustar so really the range is unlimited. FWIW, Viper sells Smart Start which is similar.

I didn't hook up either 4runner to roll the windows down with the remotes. I don't really roll the windows down anyway.

Have any of you been able to use the Viper "pit stop" feature? I've tried three times already and can't make it work.

Is that where you hit the start button then pull your key out and it keeps running? Mine worked when I first had in installed, but I had some trouble with remote starting, it would start then shut down repeatedly until the battery died. Not good in an O'Hare employee lot. My installer changed the software mode and it has worked well since, but no more leaving it running.

My pit stop works good, I use it all the time.

Am I doing it wrong?

Gearshift in park, apply parking brake, foot off brake pedal, press RS button on remote (all the LEDs light up for me), remove key (this is when it turns off for me), rob bank, return, drive away laughing maniacally.

You don't have to apply the parking brake unless you have to do that to remote start it anyways. I put mine in park, press the remote start button and give it about 5 seconds or listen for the parking light relays to click on. Then remove key. If the remote start works so should this.

What model remote start do you have. Its been a while since I installed a viper professionally but I have installed a few hundred of them and will help however I can.
